I write maybe a dozen one-liners a day. It's not practical to do this with Python, or at least it's not nearly as convenient as Perl. I'm fine with the magic. Abusing the magic is another story; Perl language features are meant to be used in particular contexts, and BEGIN blocks are rarely if ever necessary in Perl modules. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
